FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?
The ASICS Gel-Contend 9 is designed for everyday comfort and light athletic activities. For marathon running, specialized, high-performance running shoes with advanced stability and cushioning features are recommended.
How do I determine the right size?
Refer to the UK sizing provided. It's advisable to measure your foot length and compare it with ASICS' general sizing chart, as shoe fit can vary slightly.
Can I wear these trainers in wet conditions?
The engineered mesh upper offers some breathability but is not waterproof. While they can handle light moisture, they are not designed for prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet surfaces. Ensure they are dried thoroughly if they get wet.
What is the main advantage of PureGEL technology?
PureGEL technology is designed to provide enhanced shock absorption upon impact, leading to a softer landing and a more comfortable feel during wear.
How often should I replace my Gel-Contend 9 trainers?
This depends on usage frequency and intensity. For daily wear and light activities, most users find they need replacement every 6-12 months. If you notice significant wear on the sole or reduced cushioning, it's time for a new pair.
Can the insoles be removed for orthotics?
Typically, the insoles in trainers like the Gel-Contend 9 are removable. This allows space for custom orthotics or other insoles if needed.
Troubleshooting
Unusual squeaking noise
This can sometimes occur due to moisture between the sole and the midsole. Try ensuring the shoes are completely dry. If the noise persists, it might be a manufacturing anomaly.
Reduced cushioning after some use
The cushioning may naturally compress slightly over time with regular use. Ensure the shoes are clean and dry, as dirt or moisture can sometimes affect perceived cushioning. If significant degradation occurs, consider replacing the trainers.
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure you have the correct size and that the laces are tied appropriately, not too tight or too loose. Wearing appropriate athletic socks can also help prevent rubbing. If discomfort persists, consider trying a different lacing technique or consulting a footwear specialist.
